Charleston Trident Association of Realtors offers the esteemed annual Realtor of Distinction Award to the top 10% of realtors in the Tri-County area. The recognized agents exceeded expectations through completion of additional class time outside of standard requirements to gain extensive knowledge in market trends and professional development for the purpose of benefiting client needs and generating record sales volume. There are three primary categories of agent qualification:

The Executive Circle is the crown of the three categories, requiring at least $11,500,000 in volume.

The President’s Circle is the second tier, requiring $7,200,000 in volume.

The Director’s Circle requires a minimum of $5,400,000 in volume.

Another category, The Rookie Circle, is for new agents (less than 2 years experience) who sell more than $4,000,000. Sallie Halsey attained Rookie Circle status and was also awarded Rookie of the Year! In 2015, Sallie sold over $4,200,000 as a first year agent.  Though Sallie is new to her role as an agent, she is not unfamiliar to the real estate world or Charleston. As a College of Charleston alum and resident of Charleston for over 25 years, Sallie says, “I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.”  The close proximity of the beaches, the pace and kindness of the locals, and the unparalleled dining are some of Sallie’s favorite things about Charleston.
